Карты наших восхитительных тел

MIRIAM BALANESCU, INEWS (UK)

"... bracing ... The book is inspired by the experience of Mortimer's mother, who died of cancer in 2010, and the dynamics of this family under unthinkable strain are carefully rendered ... Though the plot occasionally borders on the melodramatic, Mortimer has produced a contemplative reflection on what it is to be perceived from behind 'walls of skin', whether actions have embodied consequences, and the incomprehensibility of suffering ... It may move between different styles and moods, but underpinning it all is the book's bursting energy and, in the face of death, its verve for life."

LAURA CHANOUX, BOOKLIST

"... playful and surreal prose ... Using word placement, font, and shape to create images on the page, Mortimer deepens the reader's engagement with the story and characters ... Through breathtaking attention to detail, Mortimer crafts a stunning novel that touches on the expanses one life can contain."
